Clinical trials are essential research studies that help advance medical knowledge and develop new treatments. They provide a structured way to test the safety and efficacy of interventions in human subjects. Below is an overview of key aspects:
What Are Clinical Trials?
Clinical trials evaluate new drugs, devices, or procedures to determine their effectiveness and safety. They are divided into phases:
- Phase I: Tests safety and dosage in a small group.
- Phase II: Assesses effectiveness and side effects in a larger group.
- Phase III: Confirms effectiveness and monitors long-term effects.
- Phase IV: Post-market surveillance after approval.
